Describe cells that make up a multicellular organisms Comes in wide variety of shapes and sizes
Name the cell with the largest diameter. Yolk of an ostrich egg
Name the diameter range of most living cells. 2 to 200 ųm (micrometers)
Factors that Cause Cell Size Limitations Why can t most organisms be just one giant cell? Diffusion would be rapid Diffusion would start to slow down Diffusion would be extremely slow
Name the organelle where DNA (blueprint) is located. Inside nucleus of the cell.
Explain how DNA limits cell size? Need to understand DNA is copied at a certain rate. If this rate slows down, less DNA is copied. Therefore... Cells cannot survive when there is not enough DNA to support original protein function.
If a certain number of DNA is required, how then do larger cells such as amoeba survive? Needs many nuclei in order to produce enough DNA.
Surface Area to Volume Ratio SA: LxWx6 (1mm) SA: LxWx6 SA: 6mm 2 (2mm) SA: LxWx6 SA: 24mm 2 (4mm) SA: 96mm 2 Volume: LxWxH Volume: LxWxH Volume: LxWxH (1mm) (2mm) (4mm) Volume = 1mm 3 Volume = 8mm 3 Volume = 64mm 3
Surface Area to Volume Ratio Surface area is increasing slower by 4 times. Volume is increasing faster by 8 times Not enough surface area to allow nutrients and waste to diffuse through Cell would eventually starve and die Therefore, cells divide before they become too large to function.
Cell Reproduction Recall: List the 3 parts of the cell theory. 1.) All living things are made up of 1 or more cells. 2.) Cells come from other pre-existing cells. 3.) Cells are the basic unit and structure of life.
Cell Reproduction Cell division results in two cells that are identical to the original parent cell.
Cell Reproduction Why does cell division occur in our bodies? To replace worn out cells/tissues To grow To replace dying cells To help heel cuts and bruises To help with digestion
Define Chromosomes. Chromosomes are dark colored structures that contain DNA in the nucleus. Carriers genetic material of living things. The Greek words chroma meaning colored soma meaning body
Vocabulary Karyotype is a photomicrograph picture of chromosomes
Vocabulary (draw in upper left of box) Chromosome Single DNA molecule with proteins Rod in shape
Vocabulary (draw in upper right of box) Centromere Holds the 2 sister chromatids together Sister chromatids ½ of a chromosome 2 chromatids makes up 1 whole chromosome.
??????????????????????? How many chromatids are there? How many chromosomes are there?
Vocabulary (bottom picture) Protein called histones. Beads that allow DNA to coil up tightly
Define cell cycle. The cell cycle is the sequence of growth and division of a cell
How many periods are in the cell cycle. Name them. Growth Division of a cell
Name the phase where the majority of a cell s life is spent. Interphase Where cell spends 90% of cell cycle
Name the 4 events that occur in this phase of a cell cycle. 1.) Growth 2.) DNA Replication 3.) Carries out metabolic activities 4.) Prepares for cell division
Name and define phase 2 that follows after phase 1, Interphase. Mitosis Process by which 2 daughters cells are formed each containing identical chromosomes.
Name and define phase 3 that follows after phase 2, Mitosis. Cytokinesis When either the cell membrane or cell wall reforms in order to separate the cells into two.
The Cell Cycle DNA Copies Growth & Metabolic Activities Prepares For Cell division Phase 3:Cytokinesis Phase 2:Mitosis
The Phases of Mitosis Phase 1: Interphase Visible chromosomes cannot be seen DNA replicating (copying) Cell is growing Longest part of the cell cycle (90%) Pre-stage before actual mitosis begins Nucleus
The Phases of Mitosis Phase 2: Prophase Nuclear membrane begins to break down Chromosomes pair up and start becoming visible Nuclear Membrane
The Phases of Mitosis Phase 3: Metaphase Means middle Centriole Spindles Chromosomes line up vertically at the metaphase plate (equator) Spindles (fishing line) form and attach to chromosomes Centrioles form (boxes). Acts as reel of fishing rod or like magnets.
The Phases of Mitosis Phase 4: Anaphase Spindle Centriole Chromosomes split apart Sister chromatids move to opposite sides of centrioles (poles) Spindles shorten to reel sister chromatids in
The Phases of Mitosis Phase 5: Telophase Two cells Nuclear membrane reforms Chromosomes straighten out Plant Cell: cell wall forms Animal Cell: cell membrane closes inward and pinches off to make 2 identical cells (cytokinesis)
Formula for Mitosis Daughters Cells Parent 2n 2n 2n n = number of chromosomes present
Results of Mitosis (Organization Level) Cells Tissues Organs Organs Systems Organisms
